It's Boss's Day! Thanks to all the outstanding leaders across PCSSD! Did you know Boss’s Day was initiated by a State Farm Insurance employee in Illinois in 1958? October 16 was chosen to coincide with her father’s birthday, who was also her boss.

Who wore it better? Tuesday had great turnout for generation swap day at MUSHS! Teachers versus students always brings out the competition!


Wednesday is the day of the campus cliques. You know - jocks, nerds, goths, preps, and such. Show your spirit with your regular clique or a brand new one that you create for yourself!



Tuesday is GENERATION SWAP! Students - dress like your elders. Staff - dress like the students. Let's see who has the most school spirit for day two of homecoming week when it's OLD VS. NEW!
